most of them are scarier and more violent than the movie Jaws.

The episode that really pissed me off was the one about a supposed Megalodon attacking and sinking a South African charter fishing boat this past April. Remember the fakeumentary about Mermaids a while back? The Megalodon one is another crock of Discovery Channel shit.

FALSE

Fake story, fake researchers, fake...well you get the picture. Good rant about it at Snopes.
